1 Timothy 1:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ That teaching is part of the Good News of the blessed God that he gave me to tell.

Thanks for God’s Mercy

¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me strength, because he trusted me and gave me this work of serving him. ¹³ In the past I spoke against Christ and persecuted him and did all kinds of things to hurt him. But God showed me mercy, because I did not know what I was doing. I did not believe.
